Widnes Vikings are pleased to announce the signing of Harvey Wilson from Wigan Warriors on a season-long loan for 2024.
The 19-year-old plays as a prop forward and played seven times for Oldham, on dual-registration from Wigan in 2023, scoring twice.
Wilson’s addition bolsters the Vikings’ forward options following Martyn Reilly’s ACL injury, he will now link up with new head coach Allan Coleman at the Vikings, who is a big admirer of the young prop.
Head Coach Allan Coleman said: “It’s great to get Harvey on loan with us, he’s a player I have been watching over the last 12 months and his progress has been excellent, being rewarded a full-time contract with Wigan.
“He will bring us lots of energy, and passion and is a player who plays well above his size.
“He has got the hunger to make it in the game and that is something I am keen on bringing to Widnes.”
Everyone at the Vikings welcomes Harvey to the club and can’t wait to see him pull on the shirt in 2024 as the squad continues to take shape.
